The House of Syrac is a massive, genial nation, ruled by The Syrac Family with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, suspicion of poets, and complete absence of social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working population of 1.33 billion Syracasians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Syra. The average income tax rate is 26.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Syracian economy, worth 104 trillion Sirs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Retail, and Soda Sales. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 78,583 Sirs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Corporate lawyers are joyfully combing through the new tax code for any new loopholes for their clients, journalists often nap through tedious police press briefings, the nation threatens sanctions on islands only visible at low tide, and everyone hates people who encourage hate. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Syrac's national animal is the Tiger.

Syrac is ranked 286,092^nd in the world and 4,834^th in The East Pacific for Most Extreme, scoring 4.11 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
